It's been quite the week around these parts [which exist as a charming sub sect of a (basically) effed world], what with the fan panic that followed a brief Phillies anemia (shall we localize), playoff hockey controversy (once more, please), geopolitical instability, daily reminders of the devastation in Japan, government in-fighting, and an ever-confusing economy.

To pull back allows one the overwhelming pondering that taunts as movable, though seems impossibly defeated. We dig in and push the boulder up the hill with each bit we read, re-tweet, listen to, record, email, blog, "like", podcast - the whole of social interaction is an "etc."- though with the passing step (however admirable constituted) you envisage clearer Polygnotus at work with brush, and the stone slipping from your grasp. Quite the task. Forever the task?

And we need some clarity, we yearn for focus. Prayers echo from the tired for, simply, voices to speak to us.

Today, we have those. And they're Bullhorn Kid and Billy Ocean. Debating. After the jump.

I, ZWR, editor of zoowithroy.com, the world's leading bolg about wanting to go to the zoo with Roy Halladay, will monitor the event- a comprehensive debate of those topics currently pressing.

Mr. Ocean, Mr. Bullhorn Kid- welcome.

Our first question, to Bullhorn Kid- Roy Halladay had an incredibly rough outing on Tuesday against the Brewers, though the Phillies were unable to score themselves. Which is of more concern?

F%#$* C*^#$*&# S&*#%^ IN #*^#!^&&@&^! THEN ##$*^@!@&! DEAD & #$^@#! IN THE $^!&@

Billy Ocean, your rebuttal.

WOOOOOOOOOO!

Wonderful, thank you. Billy Ocean- Gas prices are on a steady climb upward. What can be done to ease the burden on the American consumer?

WOOOO.

To you, Bullhorn Kid.

F%#$* C*^#$*&# S&*#%^ IN #*^#!^&&@&^! THEN ##$*^@!@&! DEAD & #$^@#! IN THE $^!&@

The question is Billy's to start once again. You are known for your stance of record that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. How does this translate to the situation in Libya and the United States' reaction to the Gaddafi regime?

WOOOOOOO, WOOOOO!

Bullhorn Kid, how do you respond to that?

F%#$* C*^#$*&# S&*#%^ IN #*^#!^&&@&^! THEN ##$*^@!@&! DEAD & #$^@#! IN THE $^!&@

Now we turn our attention back to domestic matters. Bullhorn Kid, we'll start with you. The question, regarding currency: what three things should the Fed do right now to prevent stagflation? Or, is it possible that stagflation has already arrived?

F%#$* C*^#$*&# S&*#%^ IN #*^#!^&&@&^! THEN ##$*^@!@&! DEAD & #$^@#! IN THE $^!&@

Billy Ocean, your rebuttal?

WOO!

Bullhorn Kid, I see you've requested a follow-up. Go ahead.

F%#$* C*^#$*&# S&*#%^ IN #*^#!^&&@&^! THEN ##$*^@!@&! DEAD & #$^@#! IN THE $^!&@

Splendid!!

To conclude, we'll discuss a matter that is near and dear to both your hearts, as fictional baseball bolg characters--the endless debate, if you will. Stat nerds vs. old school baseball purists. Clutch vs. non-clutch. OBP vs. grit. Mr. Ocean, what is your stance?

Well, that will conclude today's debate. I'd like to thank both of our participants-- Mr. Ocean and Young Master Bullhorn Kid--I think this went very well and there was some substantive and intelligent dialogue between you two.
